⚠️REMINDER: With accumulating snow forecasted to impact most of the state tonight into tomorrow morning, your best option is to stay OFF the roads. If you must travel, SLOW DOWN & increase following distance! Don’t slam on brakes or over-correct if you start to slide.

If we allow state government to fall behind, we allow Missourians to fall behind. With 7,000 positions open across state government, this wage increase is necessary. On behalf of all state employees, I ask legislators to pass this increase and deliver it to my desk by March 1.
